Mike Evans or DJ Moore or Tank Dell: Who should I start for Week 3 fantasy football?
Mike Evans, DJ Moore and Tank Dell are all intriguing options. Those lucky enough to have all three or even just two of them are living in the first world of fantasy football. However, it does present a (good) problem. Which wide receiver should you start? Here's a look at each player and a recommendation.
Is Mike Evans a good pick in Week 3?
Mike Evans was one of the top wide receivers in fantasy football last season. As such, he seems to be a weekly starter again this year. According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer, he is projected to have 15.3 points this week, which is a ringing endorsement. Talking about the receiver in a vacuum, yes, he is a great pick this week.
Is DJ Moore a good pick in Week 3?
DJ Moore has the talent to be a great option, but does he have the quarterback to feed him in Week 3? This is the question with Moore as Caleb Williams pursues his first passing touchdown this season. Moore is projected to earn 12.8 points against the Indianapolis Colts.
Is Tank Dell a good pick in Week 3?
Tank Dell saw a big influx of talent into his team this offseason, but the Texans wide receiver is still a solid option. Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer believes the receiver will be productive this week against the Minnesota Vikings. He is expected to earn 12.2 points.
Should I start Mike Evans or DJ Moore or Tank Dell in Week 3?
If you've been keeping track of the numbers up to this point, you likely already know the conclusion. According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer, Mike Evans is the best option.
However, all three wide receivers should be productive the week. With only three points separating the best option from the least best, taking a risk with someone other than Evans appears to have minimal repercussions.
Still, with a loaded wide receiver corps on the Texans and questions about Caleb Williams on the Bears, Evans appears to be the safest bet. Evans and Baker Mayfield have already built up chemistry and with Mayfield tied for leading the league in throwing touchdowns coming into Week 3, the choice appears to be somewhat clear-cut.
